This painting was done in the studio while the snow was blowing. It made me feel like Spring will be here soon, and now it is. It is also from over in the Shenandoah Valley, but farther north.
24" x 48" $1,000 framed SOLD

This painting was from a visit to a friend's farm in Madison County last year and was painted mostly from memory. The softness from the early evening light is what I love to try to capture. 28" x 46" $1,300 framed SOLD

This painting was done after coming home and painting the sky from memory, after watching the sunset over the mountains across the street on our neighbors farm. My husband and I often walk there after dinner, and that evening I raced home and painted this. 20 " x 20" $300. SOLD

This weekend Andrew and Audrey came and bought their painting, thank you! It was a studio painting from a study over in the Shenandoah Valley. My husband and I drove over there last Fall and enjoyed pulling over along the way for photographs. We travel the back roads with lunch in tow.
24" x 36" SOLD

This was painted late fall 2009 from a photo across the mountain from my house, in the Shenandoah Valley. The red roof has a nice pop to the soft colors around it. The hay that is laying down was fun to paint too. It is hanging in my dining room.
36" x 48" $1,500 SOLD

This is from a photo in Crozet from last year's hay harvest. This is a wonderful size, great for landscape painters, fun to paint and can go over mantles or anywhere. All paintings come framed with Virginia grown cherry strip frames, unless indicated differently. This is available at my home in Crozet.
12" x 48" $495 framed SOLD
